contents We study Andreev reflection in a one-dimensional square-well pair-potential. We discuss the history of the model. The current-phase relation is presented as a sum over Matsubara frequencies. How the current arises from bound and continuum levels is found by analytic continuation. We discuss two limiting cases of the square-well potential, the zero-length well and the infinite well. The model is quantitatively valid in some cases but forms the basis for understanding a wide range of problems in inhomogeneous superconductivity and superfluidity.
